Abstract 19808: Short Term Outcomes After Use of Bone Marrow Transplantation for Management of Heart Failure: A Meta-analysis *

The role of bone marrow cell transplant in ischemic heart failure is being increasingly recognized. Multiple studies have been published evaluating their use with varying results. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis of the published literature.

We searched Pubmed, EBSCO and Cochrane databases for terms “bone marrow transplant”, “stem cell transplant”, “heart failure”, “cardiac failure” and their combinations. Only studies comparing bone marrow cell transplantation via intracoronary route to placebo, and those with 6 month follow up data were included. Studies in language other than English were excluded.
